We stayed in Ndovu House for 2 nights. It’s a beautiful Swahili house. The center point being the upstairs lounge with a view over the savannah. The bedrooms are clean and comfortable and this would make a great place for large groups.

We stopped off for just one night to break the journey from the coast and were treated to simple but heavenly accommodation and extraordinary wildlife sightings. A lioness roaring in the early morning all to ourselves and multiple groups of elephants at the water holes. This is not 5* luxury but it is real wilderness and a wonderful wonderful conservation project that deserves support.
